The results of this assessment help the speech and language pathologist sdetermine if your child’s oral language is age-appropriate in the areas of understanding and usage of vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure.

Reading requires decoding the sounds of a printed word and simultaneously mapping those sounds to meaning. Meaning is carried by grammar and sentence structure as well as vocabulary, so having a developmentally-appropriate foundation in each of these domains of oral language is necessary for literacy. Children who have difficulty with oral language are at risk for reading failure. This assessment will also help to determine what type of remediation will benefit your child. If your evaluation reveals your child will benefit from Speech and Language Therapy, services are available through Learning Matters.
